Adelaide United: Clinging onto a top six spot
Adelaide United put in a reasonable shift, but there wasn’t enough happening in the final third, as they only had two shots on target. They now sit just one point above seventh place Brisbane Roar, after a draw.
Brisbane Roar: Not good enough in the final third
Brisbane Roar continually have problems scoring goals. They aren’t playing bad football, but they need goals.
Central Coast Mariners: Can’t stop scoring
Central Coast Mariners won the game, because they scored two goals in the opening 26 minutes.
Macarthur FC: It could’ve been worse
Macarthur FC weren’t at the races in the first half. They were fortunate Filip Kurto made nine saves and that Daniel Arzani changed the momentum of the game in the second half.
Melbourne City: Not their day, despite a fine display
Melbourne City failed to claim three points, even though they had 31 shots!
Melbourne Victory: They showed resilience, character and grit
Melbourne Victory can take positives away from their game against Adelaide United. They did show that they were up for the fight.
Newcastle Jets: They were good in patches
Newcastle Jets sit in a precarious position, despite playing some decent football.
Perth Glory: A miraculous fightback
Perth Glory went into the half time break trailing 2-nil, but they managed to score two goals in the second half thanks to good substitutions.
Sydney FC: Fell apart
Sydney FC should’ve been winning by more than two goals at half time and they paid the price. They only took one point away from Perth when they should’ve won comfortably.
Wellington Phoenix: They’re building something
Wellington Phoenix ground out a 1-nil win for the second week in a row. They showed that they are a threat, because they work together as a team and there are no egos in the dressing room.
Western Sydney Wanderers: All at sea
Western Sydney Wanderers were fortunate to claim a point, because Melbourne City had 31 shots.
Western United: A shadow of themselves
Western United sit just one point above Melbourne Victory. There’s no disputing that Western United aren’t the same team as last season when they won the title.
